January 23rd, 2014 Consumer Goods Ignite Restaurant Group, Inc. Ticker: IRG Recommendation: Outperform Current Price: $6.98 Price Target: $8.70 Investment Thesis Key Statistics 52 Week Range IRG acquired Romano’s Macaroni Grill in April 2013, as the company saw an opportunity to improve its performance. As IRG continues to revamp the restaurant’s operations, its inclusion will prove accretive to IRG’s bottom line going forward. IRG’s acquisition of Romano’s Macaroni Grill further expands its real estate portfolio, allowing the company to convert its restaurants more easily and with a substantial cost savings. Given the low number of current Brick House Tavern + Tap restaurants, there is still a great amount of national growth, ultimately proving beneficial to both IRG’s top line and bottom line. IRG’s experienced management team and their remarkable track record will allow the company to take the necessary steps to not only improve the performance of Romano’s Grill, but continue to grow its Brick House Tavern + Tap brand going forward. $5.68 - $16.29 $7.72 50D M oving Average Estimated Beta 0.74 Dividend Yield 0% M arket Capitalization 188.38 M 3-Yr Revenue CAGR 27.62% Trading Statistics 26.2 M Diluted Shares Average Vol.(3-M on) One-Year Stock Chart 122.478 Th.

($IRG) is a restaurant conglomerate company. Founded in 1991 and headquartered in Houston Texas, IRG owns three restaurant brands: Joe’s Crab Shack, Brick House Tavern + Tap, and Romano's Macaroni Grill. Joe’s Crab Shack Founded in Houston, Texas in 1991, Joe’s Crab Shack is a casual seafood restaurant. The restaurant is primarily known for its laid back atmosphere and its locations, which the majority of them are situated on a waterfront property with patio seating. According to IRG, “a visit to Joe’s [Crab Shack] is an event for the whole family.” Given the quote, some Joe’s Crab Shacks even offer a children’s playground as a way to achieve the company’s goal in creating an environment that is fun and appealing to the common family. Source: Joescrabshack.com Figure 2: Brick House Tavern + Tap Logo Joe’s Crab Shack was purchased by IRG from Landry’s Restaurants, Inc. in November 2006 for a purchase price of approximately $192 million. At the time, IRG saw an opportunity to completely transform the Joe’s Crab Shack brand, as it was a severely underperforming restaurant at the time of the acquisition. The aspect that IRG focused on the most to revamp the Joe’s Crab Shack brand was to create an experience that catered to its core customer segment. This entailed: innovating the restaurant’s menu, elevating its service, and enhancing its marketing plan. As of IRG’s most recent filing, it owned 138 Joe’s Crab Shack restaurants across 33 states. Brick House Tavern + Tap Brick House Tavern + Tap is a casual bar and grill designed for the average person looking to unwind and relax after a long day at work. Unlike Joe’s Crab Shack, where a visit is considered an event, Brick House Tavern + Tap is promoted as a place that is ideal for frequent visits. Generally, these restaurants entail a modernized setup that includes leather recliners and large high definition televisions so that guests, who are often sports enthusiasts, can enjoy the day’s big game. As of IRG’s most recent filing, it owned and operated 21 Brick House Tavern + Tap across ten states. Source: Brickhousetavernandtap.com Romano’s Macaroni Grill Founded in April 1988 by Philip Romano, Romano’s Macaroni Grill is a casual restaurant focusing on Italian cuisine. Like Joe’s Crab Shack, Romano’s Macaroni Grill is promoted and operated in a way that is family and friend oriented. It is also a place where people visit UOIG 2 January 23rd, 2015 University of Oregon Investment Group Figure 3: Romano’s Macaroni Grill Logo to celebrate things such as a best friend’s birthday or a recent promotion. To give customers a true Italian dining experience, the restaurants feature stonewalls, brick-type ovens, and string lighting. Romano’s Macaroni Grill was purchased by IRG from Golden Gate Capital in April 2013 for a purchase price of approximately $61 million. For more details, refer to the Growth Strategies section on page 7, as one of the main thesis points outlined above is based on the acquisition. Revenue Segments IRG reports revenue from its three restaurant brands. Up until its acquisition of Romano’s Macaroni Grill, IRG’s had no international operations. As of its most recent annual report, IRG franchised a total of 19 Romano’s Macaroni Grills across nine countries. As of the most recent annual report, Joe’s Crab Shack, Brick House Tavern + Tap, and Romano’s Macaroni Grill represented 58.9%, 6.8%, and 34.4% of IRG’s total revenue, respectively.

From a general perspective, success within this industry is based on many different macroeconomic factors as well as various input costs, such as poultry and fish. Both the macroeconomic factors as well as the input costs will be discussed shortly. A company’s overall ability to attract and retain customers is also extremely important. Customers base their dining decisions on many different factors including the menu offering, the quality of the food, the service provided by waiters/waitresses, and the average price of a meal. IRG specifically competes within the chain restaurants industry. 6.6% Source: IBIS World Industry Report Operations There are several factors that characterize the chain restaurants industry, and therefore are important to take note of. First is that wages, which is considered an input cost, tend to represent a large percentage of a company’s sales. On the contrary, cash outlay for tangible capital is low relative to wages. On average, for every $.12 that is allocated to buildings and equipment, $1.00 is allocated to wages. However, there are ways in which firms can reduce their risk/exposure to wages. For instance, firms can invest in certain technologies that allow part of the process to be automated, such as electronic customer ordering systems. Point of sale systems are also utilized as a way to speed up service. Financial Performance UOIG 3 January 23rd, 2015 University of Oregon Investment Group Figure 5: Product Segmentation 4% 4% 6% American Breakfast 9% Italian Other 51% Seafood 11% Specialty Asian 15% Source: IBIS World Industry Reports Macro Factors As mentioned above, there are several macroeconomic factors that inevitably affect the performance of this industry. Consumer spending is among the most important factors to gauge, as this metric could suggest how the industry is likely to perform in the near future. In general, consumer spending and the performance of this industry are positively correlated. Consumer spending is expected to steadily rise given the job growth expectations as well as normalizing credit conditions. More specifically, disposable income is likely to rise as more consumers return to work, enticing them to spend more money. Consumer spending is forecasted to increase at an average annual rate of 2.6% over the next five years. Closely linked to consumer spending is the Consumer Confidence Index, which measures the level of optimism in the general economy. This is judged by consumers’ activities of both spending and saving. Like consumer spending, the Consumer Confidence Index and the industry are positively correlated. Over the next five years, consumer confidence is expected to recover as more people return to work and regain a steady flow of income. The brighter economic outlook is also expected to boost consumer sentiment going forward. Figure 6: Consumer Spending (% change) 4.0% A common metric that is important and should be watched very closely is the comparable restaurant sales growth. This metric compares the sales of restaurants that have been open for a specified period of time. Generally this period is a year. However, in IRG’s case, comparable restaurants include those open for at least 104 weeks, or approximately two years. As of the last annual report, there were 309 restaurants that were included in the comparable restaurant base. Overall, this metric allows investors to determine what portion of sales has come from sales growth and what portion can be attributed to the opening of new stores. Lastly, it is important to note that this industry is typically driven by families that lack time to prepare a home-cooked meal, and that earn more than $100,000 per year. Because of this factor, the growth in the number of households that fit this description will be important. The growth of such households is expected to increase during 2014 and 2015. 3.0% 2.0% 1.0% 0.0% 2010 2012 2014 2016 Source: IBIS World 2018 2020 In sum, the industry is expected to improve and in line with the general economy over the next five years given the positive outlook for the macroeconomic factors that are mentioned above. However, chain restaurants are expected to face increased competition from other types of restaurants including both fast food restaurants and fast casual restaurants. Given the rising competition, product UOIG 4 University of Oregon Investment Group January 23rd, 2015 development will be of high importance in order for firms to remain relevant. Firms will continually need to innovate their current menus and offer items that are attractive to their core customer segment. Figure 7: Consumer Confidence Index Competition As briefly mentioned above, this industry is extremely competitive and is expected to increase going forward. Chain restaurants not only compete with other chains, but they also compete with others that serve the broader market such as ‘mom and pop’ restaurants, coffee shops, and bars.

This also brings another added layer of competition as firms are competing with other firms in regards to the location of their restaurants. From a simple supply and demand microeconomic model, this will inevitably push up the price of real estate holding supply constant. This is a safe assumption as the recent economic downturn enticed real estate developers to hold back on construction. Lastly, it is important to note that while industry regulation is significant in terms of maintaining adequate health standards and retaining certain types of licensing, it does not create any insurmountable barriers to enter or operate within the industry.

As a result, the level of market concentration has decreased slightly. Another reason for the fragmented industry is the increase of franchising activity that has taken place over the past five years. Many chains are beginning to realize that there are greater profits to be made in collecting royalties and other fees as oppose to buying and selling food and beverages. As of the latest industry reports, the four largest players account for about 26.4% of the available market share. 2020 Globalization Most of the firms operate primarily in the United States. International operations are likely to grow, however, given the intensified competition that was mentioned above. Exactly where companies take their restaurants, in terms of location, depends on their areas of expertise and their food concepts and styles. Depending on the exact locations at question, an international move is likely a positive outlook for the industry. This is because direct competition is lower in many emerging and high growth markets.

Bloomin' Brands Inc. Briner International Inc. Differentiated Restaurant Brands IRG has placed itself well within the industry, where all of its restaurants are distinctively positioned brands that are designed to have a unique guest appeal. More specifically, each restaurant brand features different food offerings as well as an atmosphere that attracts a diverse group of customers. As mentioned in greater detail in the Industry section, the competition is extremely high within the industry, and firms are not only competing amongst each other but are also competing with firms that serve the broader market. What IRG has effectively done is diversify its offering, reducing its exposure to any one particular cuisine.

As mentioned previously, Joe’s Crab Shack is a place to take the entire family and enjoy food in a vacation-themed environment. Brick House Tavern + Tap provides a comfortable and modernized setup for a group a friends to enjoy the many different varieties of beer offered while cheering for their favorite sports team. Romano’s Macaroni Grill features opera singers to provide entertainment for visiting customers. The reason behind IRG’s push to provide a memorable guest service is twofold. First, customers who are entertained and have a good dining experience are likely to come back. Second, IRG believes that its guest service models provide an additional layer of brand differentiation. Scalability of Operations The mere size and structure of IRG’s business allows the company to scale its operations, improving its margins as well as its profitability. While each of IRG’s three restaurants conducts its own field operations, the company utilizes a common platform that is shared amongst the restaurants. For instance, each restaurant is supported by one support center located in Houston, Texas. This support center carries out many administrative-like functions including marketing, menu development, accounting, real estate and development, human resources, and all matters regarding information systems and technology. Again, the goal is that by only using one support system, as oppose to three individual centers, IRG will benefit in the form of reduced administrative expenses. This in effect will increase its profitability. Business Growth Strategies UOIG 6 University of Oregon Investment Group In the restaurant business, there are three primary aspects that must be focused on in order to sustain growth and achieve success. These aspects are: restaurant openings (focusing on new stores), comparable restaurant sales (focusing on current stores), and scalability (using both new and current stores as well as vital resources as a means of growing the bottom line). IRG has been focusing on each of these aspects carefully and diligently by creating and executing specific plans in the hopes of growing the name and notoriety of all of its restaurant brands. IRG also will use its recent acquisition of Romano’s Macaroni Grill to its advantage. The company’s specific strategy with regards to Romano’s Macaroni Grill will be discussed shortly. Figure 11: Joe’s Crab Shack Openings 4 January 23rd, 2015 3 2 1 0 2015E 2016E 2017E 2018E 2019E 2020E 2021E 2022E 2023E Source: Analyst Projections Restaurant Openings IRG has been focused on growing the number of restaurants, particularly its Joe’s Crab Shack and Brick House Tavern + Tap restaurants. In all, when the company agrees to a new opening, it believes that the new opening will achieve at least a 25% cash-oncash return. This return metric is for the company’s Joe’s Crab Shack and Brick House Tavern + Tap restaurants. For Joe’s Crab Shack, IRG focuses on opening restaurants in specific geographies that are highly populated and have a high propensity for seafood. A perfect example of such a location is the Joe’s Crab Shack located in close proximity to the fisherman’s wharf in San Francisco California. IRG also opens Joe’s Crab Shacks in close proximity to regional and national tourist attractions. Figure 12: Brick House Tavern + Tap Openings For Brick House Tavern + Tap, IRG did not mention any geographical characteristics that it looks for when opening new restaurants. However, IRG did mention that is plans to open Brick House Tavern + Tap restaurants in the top 50 designated market areas. It is also important to note that there is significant growth potential for Brick House Tavern + Tap, given the few number of restaurants currently opened for business. 7 6 5 4 Comparable Restaurant Sales Growth In order to achieve comparable restaurant sales growth, IRG focuses on two primary aspects: menu innovation and marketing. 3 2 1 0 2015E 2016E 2017E 2018E 2019E 2020E 2021E Source: Analyst Projections 2022E 2023E Menu Innovation Continuously improving the menus at all of IRG’s restaurants is extremely important not only for building customer loyalty but frequent visiting as well. Both Joe’s Crab Shack and Brick House Tavern + Tap are known for constant menu innovations. The menus at these restaurants changes at least twice per year and they are what keep the customers returning, wanting to taste the new offerings. UOIG 7 University of Oregon Investment Group Figure 13: Brick House Tavern + Tap Openings 0 2015E 2016E 2017E 2018E 2019E 2020E 2021E 2022E -1 -2 2023E January 23rd, 2015 For Joe’s Crab Shack, the new menu rollouts occur during the April/May time period, as well as during the October/November time period. These roll-outs not only include the new item launches, but also an entirely new menu design as well as new pricing that reflects the current economic environment. A typical menu change includes around four to seven new items all the while maintaining approximately 75 total items. For Brick House Tavern + Tap, the menu is revised twice per year. Like Joe’s Crab Shack, its new menu rollout is also associated with an entirely new design and updated pricing. Brick House Tavern + Tap is also known for its alcoholic beverages, as the restaurants average about 70 varieties of beer and specialty cocktails, which are made by in-house trained bartenders. -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 Source: Analyst Projections Figure 14: Romano’s Macaroni Grill Wine Advertisement Source: macaronigrill.com Marketing IRG is currently focused on heavy marketing and advertising, as the company believes such efforts will continue to drive new and repeat business for its restaurants. The specific strategy depends on the restaurant at hand. However all marketing efforts are aimed at maintaining the focus on celebratory occasions as well as increasing the frequency of customer visits though everyday enjoyable moments. Joe’s Crab Shack is advertised primarily through a national platform, while Brick House Tavern + Tap is advertised locally given the relatively small number of restaurants currently opened. Romano’s Macaroni Grill As mentioned previously, IRG purchased Romano’s Macaroni Grill for approximately $61 million. IRG’s motive behind the acquisition is exactly the same for its acquisition of Joe’s Crab Shack in 2006. That is, IRG plans on completely revamping the Romano’s Macaroni Grill brand, and in doing so, the hope is that the restaurants begin to positively contribute to IRG’s overall profitability. IRG’s management, whom will be discussed in greater detail under the Management and Employee Relations section below, will be key as they bring a great amount of experience to the table from their turnaround of Joe’s Crab Shack. To revamp the Romano’s Macaroni Grill brand, IRG will execute the same strategies as it does with its other two restaurants. That is, the company will focus on creating an innovative menu as well as creating and executing an entirely new marketing plan. With regards to menu innovation, IRG plans on bringing back the importance of wine, as this element was the key focus of a Romano’s Macaroni Grill visit. The company also created a number of new menu items, UOIG 8 University of Oregon Investment Group Figure 15: Franchised Locations for Romano’s Macaroni Grill January 23rd, 2015 including braisers that contain slow-cooked meat as well as a unique four-course tasting menu. With regards to marketing, IRG has shifted the efforts from local platforms to national platforms. IRG expects that, now, all of the Romano’s Macaroni Grill locations will be covered by this marketing plan, as oppose to an average of only 61% prior to this newly defined strategy. 8 6 4 2 0 Source: IRG 2013 10-K Figure 16: Romano’s Kitchen Counter Advertisement There are also two other important advantages as to why IRG decided to acquire Romano’s Macaroni Grill. The first is franchise opportunities and international exposure. Given that some of the Romano’s Macaroni Grills are currently on a franchisor/franchisee agreement, this brings an added franchise element to the structure of IRG’s business, providing a constant and steady income stream as well as royalties. It also allows for the opportunity for IRG to begin franchisor/franchisee agreements with regards to its other two restaurants, as the company will be able to utilize its current relationships and develop new ones with candidates whom are well capitalized and able to enter into such agreements. According to IRG’s most recent annual filing, there were 24 franchised Romano’s Macaroni Grills, 12 of which are located in different countries. The second important advantage is real estate. As mentioned in the annual and quarterly filings, IRG plans on utilizing its new acquired real estate portfolio by converting underperforming restaurants to another brand within the portfolio. More specifically, for the Romano’s Macaroni Grills that are continually underperforming, IRG can easily convert the restaurant into either a Joe’s Crab Shack or a Brick House Tavern + Tap. In doing so could, IRG could save an estimated $500,000 savings on investment per restaurant location as compared to a newly constructed building. In all, the Romano’s Macaroni Grill restaurants represent an ideal complement to IRG’s real estate portfolio and provide the company with flexibility to realize conversion opportunities. Romano’s Kitchen Counter Beginning in early November, Romano’s Kitchen Counter is aimed to take advantage of the restaurant’s growing lunch segment. More specifically, this new rollout is focused on a total of 12 entrees priced at $7.00, all of which are prepared in seven minutes are less. If the order takes longer than the guaranteed seven minutes then order is free. The menu items range from sandwiches and pastas to salads. Source: macaronigrill.com In terms of implementation, the costs are extremely low (about $2500 per unit), as the service model takes advantage of the counter and display kitchen that already exists in over 75% of the locations. In the most recent conference call (MRCC), CEO Ray Blanchette UOIG 9 January 23rd, 2015 University of Oregon Investment Group mentioned that this service may potentially expand to dinner as well, given successful performance of Romano’s Kitchen Counter.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Revenue Model In essence, the revenue model considers two inputs to derive total revenue for each of IRG’s three restaurant brands: Joe’s Crab Shack, Brick House Tavern + Tap, and Romano’s Macaroni Grill. The first input is the total number of restaurants for each restaurant brand, and the second input is average unit volume, or the average revenue per restaurant. Figure 32: Total Restaurant Growth 10 8 6 4 2 0 2015E 2016E 2017E 2018E 2019E 2020E 2021E 2022E 2023E Source: Analyst Projections Figure 33: Average Unit Volume Growth 6.0% 5.0% 4.0% 3.0% 2.0% 1.0% Total Number of Restaurants Projections for each restaurant brand were based on a combination of past trends and management guidance. The growth in the number of Joe’s Crab Shack restaurants is relatively in line with past trends, as management has not suggested otherwise. For Brick House Tavern + Tap, the fast growth in the number of restaurants is assumed to continue. This was under the assumption that IRG will continue to nurture and grow Brick House Tavern + Tap into a nationally recognized brand. As of IRG’s last annual report, the majority of these restaurants were located in Texas and Florida, leaving substantial room for growth in other markets going forward. The approach taken to derive Romano’s Macaroni Grill was different compared to that of Joe’s Crab Shack and Brick House Tavern + Tap. As management has stated, they will continue to explore the possibilities/opportunities to convert Romano’s Macaroni Grill restaurants into either Joe’s Crab Shack and/or Brick House Tavern + Tap. This is because, in terms of the costs, IRG saves approximately $500,000 if it were to convert a restaurant rather than construct an entirely new building. The assumption used, however, is that all of these conversions will be from Romano’s Macaroni Grill to Brick House Tavern + Tap, as oppose to Romano’s Macaroni Grill to Joe’s Crab Shack. This is because the majority of the Romano’s Macaroni Grill restaurants are in locations that are better suited for Brick House Tavern + Tap restaurants. 0.0% 2015E 2016E 2017E Joe's Crab Shack 2018E 2019E Brick House Tavern + Tap 2020E 2021E 2022E Romano's Macaroni Grill Source: Analyst Projections 2023E Average Unit Volume Projections for each restaurant brand were based on management guidance and strategy. For Joe’s Crab Shack, modest growth is assumed, which is based on past trends. For Brick House Tavern + Tap, higher growth is assumed for the next several years and then is projected to decline to modest levels going into the terminal year. This is based on a combination of management guidance and overall strategy. For Romano’s Macaroni Grill, relatively higher growth is assumed and then is projected to decline to modest levels going into UOIG 16 January 23rd, 2015 University of Oregon Investment Group the terminal year, which is based on a combination of management guidance and overall strategy. Figure 34: Cost of Sales Three Statement Model Income Statement (As a % of Total Revenue) 30.0% 29.0% 28.0% 27.0% 26.0% 25.0% 2015E 2016E 2017E 2018E 2019E 2020E 2021E 2022E 2023E Source: Analyst Projections Cost of Sales Cost of sales is projected to decrease slightly less than 300 bps going into the terminal year, which is based on the historical trend beginning in 2011. Cost of sales have been decreasing, as a percent of revenue, due to the inclusion of Romano’s Macaroni Grill, which tends to have lower food costs relative to Joe’s Crab Shack. The same is true for Brick House Tavern + Tap. As both of these restaurants, combined, represent a larger portion of IRG’s total revenue going into the terminal year, the cost associated with producing that revenue is expected to decline. IRG has also experienced a continued move to items with better margins. This trend is assumed going forward as IRG will continue its strong marketing initiatives that promote its core profitable menu items. General & Administrative (G&A) Given managements G&A strategy mentioned above in the Management Guidance section on page 11, this line item is projected to decrease slightly going into the terminal year.

Capital Expenditures As per the restrictions in IRG’s $165 million term loan, capital expenditures are limited to a specific amount each year until maturity (February 2019). The DCF reflects these yearly amounts, in which no single year is greater than the amount stated in the term loan agreement. Once the term loan matures, another term loan is assumed with exactly the same characteristics and restrictions, and UOIG 17 January 23rd, 2015 University of Oregon Investment Group capital expenditures are projected as 5% of revenue going into the terminal year. Figure 36: IRG’s Beta Beta Standard Error Weighting 1 Year Daily 0.90 0.26 0% Since Public 0.77 0.15 67% Hamada 0.55 Beta 33% 0.70 Source: Analyst Projections Figure 37: Intermediate Growth Rate Beta IRG’s stock returns were regressed against the returns of the S&P 500. Given that IRG has only been trading since May 2012, the standard 3-year daily regression could not be calculated. Instead, a 1-year daily regression was calculated. Along with the 1-year daily, a regression was calculated since IRG’s initial public offering. Lastly, a Hamada beta was calculated based on the comparable companies mentioned above. A final beta of .70 was derived. Intermediate Growth Rate Given the approximate 7% growth of free cash flows in the terminal year, an intermediate growth rate was used. Cost of Equity The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) was used to calculate IRG’s cost of equity. The yield on the current 10-year Treasury Bill was use for the risk free rate and 5.75% was used as the market risk premium. Intermediate Growth Rate 2024 2025 5.00% 3.00% $17,193 $17,709 $9,930 $9,681 Source: Analyst Projections Cost of Debt IRG currently has an outstanding term loan of 8%. However, using this 8% figure would cause IRG’s cost of debt to be above its cost of equity. To resolve this issue, the average cost of debt for the restaurant/dining industry was looked at, which is 3.17%. Also, an average cost of debt was calculated based on the comparable companies. Assigning a weighting of 33.33% to each, implies a cost of debt of 5.52%. Terminal WACC A terminal WACC was calculated in order to calculate an appropriate discount rate reflective of IRG’s terminal year’s capital as well as market borrowing conditions. The terminal risk free rate is the current yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury Bill. Recommendation Though Romano’s Macaroni Grill is not yet accretive to IRG’s bottom line, management is expected to continue revamping the restaurant brand as they did with Joe’s Crab Shack, proving beneficial to the company’s bottom line going forward. For the Romano’s Macaroni Grills that continue to underperform expectations, IRG can easily convert the real estate into one of its other two restaurant brands, an ability that will prove beneficial as UOIG 18 University of Oregon Investment Group January 23rd, 2015 certain dynamics may change going forward. Lastly, there is still a great amount of room for growth for IRG’s smallest restaurant brand, Brick House Tavern + Tap. Management is expected to increase its national presence going forward, growing both the company’s top line and bottom line. With that being said, I recommend an outperform (buy) for the Svigals Portfolio.
